About the Foundry

Unconventional performance

Teledyne DALSA's fabrication strengths include integration of sense and actuation circuitry alongside MEMS structures, flexible wafer-scale packaging, and a range of materials, equipment, and process flows that enable the most advanced MEMS and image sensor performance. We own dozens of patents in fabrication technology. Many of our process technologies are usually considered unconventional or even contradictory in mainstream integrated circuit production, but Teledyne DALSA Semiconductor's foundry services together provide designers and customers with a rare ability to optimize architecture, performance, and reliability to meet the needs of high-volume, mission-critical microsystems in photonics, telecom, biomedical, automotive, and industrial applications.

Our 41,000 sq ft (3,800m2) of clean rooms run both 200 mm and 150 mm wafers; we are IATF 16949 and ISO 14001 registered and RoHS compliant, meeting the demanding requirements of customers that serve all the main MEMS markets including consumer, automotive, industrial and biotech/medical markets. Teledyne DALSA’s innovative MEMs toolbox and manufacturing flexibility aim to support customers’ unique competitive advantage within a cost-effective MEMS operation.

Across many device types and applications, whether it is micro-mirrors for telecommunication, gyro sensors for game controllers, microfluidic devices for miniaturized medical systems, automotive pressure and inertial sensors for automobiles or microphones for smartphones, Teledyne DALSA has delivered high volume MEMS production for innovations that reduce both size and power consumption even as they increase performance.
